Jesus Christ said that no one can enter the kingdom of heaven unless he is born again. Any number of Christians will tell you that they have been born again and are one with Christ having received him in their heart. Let’s see through the Bible what it means to be born again. (John 3:3-6). When Jesus Christ spoke to a Pharisee named Nicodemus he explained to him that the only way to enter the kingdom of God is to be born again of water and of the Spirit. As Christians we believe this teaching. We have to know for certain what Christ meant by water and the Spirit for our salvation. First, what did Christ mean by water? (1 Peter 3:21). According to the Bible, water symbolizes baptism. Baptism is the first necessary step to be born again in Christ. Then, what did Christ mean by being born of the Spirit? (John 6:63) Jesus Christ spoke to a crowd of 5,000 people saying that the words that he had just spoken were Spirit and life. We must know what words he spoke prior. (John 6:53-56). Jesus Christ said that if we eat his flesh and blood we have eternal life and are one with him. How can we eat Christ’s flesh and drink his blood? (Luke 22:7-20). It is only through the Passover that we can receive the body and blood of Christ. If we are baptized and keep the New Covenant Passover, only then can we say that we have been born again through water and the Spirit. Who showed us this truth of salvation? Christ Ahnsahnghong. God almighty came again and showed us the way to be born again though Scripture.
